      How (and where) to add a new page to your Web site

      To add a new page to your website, you can start by determining where it fits best. We’ll show you how to set it up and organize it in a way that makes sense for your site. Let’s dive in!

      When it comes to adding Meetings or Compliance-related content to your Streamline Web site, the options are fairly straightforward: you add your Meeting in the Meeting tab, and you add your Compliance-related items (budgets, board members, mission statements, etc.) into your Compliance tab.

      But what about everything else? Say you want to create an "About Us" style page where you are able to tell the history of your district, provide some fun facts, and maybe include a few photos of your office and/or the region you serve. You can create such a page via the Content tab on your website:

      1. Navigate to the Content tab
      2. Click the big “+ Add New Content” button
      3. Create your page, using the page editor to add text and images. Here is what our page looks like:
        • new page of content
      4. Click Save and Close when finished. Once saved, your page will show up in the Content area just like this one:
        • new content

      However, just because you have the Page saved in your Content library doesn't mean it's easily discoverable by your site visitors; for any non-Meeting or non-Compliance related page, you will also have to decide where to feature your content!

      This is not as daunting as it sounds. Any new page you add to your Web site can basically only be featured in one of two simple ways:

      1. You can link to the page in your Menu (click to skip to that section)

        Or...
      2. You can link to the page as a Teaser on any other page, including your home page (click to skip to that section)

      Linking to your page through the Menu

      Your menu is one of the easiest ways to make a new page easily discoverable by your site visitors. It's great for featuring important, critical content on your site that isn't likely to change often. 

      1. Click on the “Menus” tab to see your toolbar - here, you can easily add new links (called "menu items") as well as drag and drop menu items to reorganize them. 
        1. Note: The left-most indented items are the items that appear on the top-level of your menu. Items grouped under them on the menu will appear indented just to the right.
      2. To add your new page to your Menu, first locate the general area you want the page to appear as a menu item. For our "Mission Statement" page, I've decided to organize this under "About Us" on the menu, so I just need to click on the + icon to the right of the “About” menu item to create a new one:
      3. Then, let's give our new menu item a name (we'll just call it Mission), and then link the menu item to our new page
      4. To group the Mission Statement page under About, we need only to click and drag it just to the right

      Linking to your page as a Teaser

      Featuring your new page as a Teaser means you can add a link to that page anywhere on your Web site. That's all a Teaser is: a link to one of your Pages that you can customize the appearance of. They're a great way to showcase new and updated content, as well as link together related content.

      Let's say we wanted to feature our new Mission Statement page on our Services page; folks interested in the services we provide may be interested in learning more about the district, and linking the two pages together can make that discovery process more natural for your site visitors.

      To do this:

      1. Navigate to the Services page just like any normal visitor to the website, and make sure you are logged in.
      2. While logged in, click on the Edit button at the top of the page and scroll down past the Main Body Content area and navigate to the “Teaser Zone” & “Related Content Zone”
        1. Clicking on the name of either zone will expand it to show you the teasers that are already there. We'll add this teaser to our Mission Statement page to the “Related Content Zone” or “Pages in Sidebar” by clicking the Add new button, and then choosing the Mission Statement page from our Content library
      3. Once the Teaser has been added, go ahead and save the page by scrolling up and clicking the green Save and close. You will then see the Mission Statement page as a teaser in the sidebar from the public view of this pageteasing content
